“…These results agree with those of previous studies that had sought to improve the QOL of burns victims through various interventions such as taking part in meetings [ 33 , 34 ], distant education and follow-up on the phone [ 35 – 37 ], or using multimedia educational CDs [ 31 , 38 ]. In a study conducted by Heydarikhayat et al (2018), in addition to home visits, the patients were followed-up on the phone, and the mean scores of simple abilities, body image, treatment regimens, and work one and half months after discharge were significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the controls [ 36 ].…”

Background Burn is one of the most brutal harms to the human body and mind and its wide-ranging complications have many adverse effects on the patients’ quality of life. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of rehabilitation education through social media on burn patients’ quality of life. Methods The present randomized, controlled, clinical trial was conducted on 60 patients admitted to Imam Reza Hospital Burn Center in the city of Mashhad, Iran, who were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control groups (n = 30 per group). The researcher then created a WhatsApp channel to provide educational content and a WhatsApp group for burns patients to join and get their questions answered. The intervention group patients pursued their post-discharge education through the social media for a month. The control group patients received their discharge education according to the ward’s routine procedures through pamphlets and face-to-face training by the personnel. As the study’s main variable, the Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief was completed by both groups before and 1 and 2 months after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the ANCOVA and repeated-measures ANOVA. Results There was no significant differences between the intervention and control groups in terms of the QOL score and any of the domains at baseline. The results indicated the significant effect of the intervention both 1 and 2 months post-intervention on the QOL score and all the domains (P < 0.05), except for body image (Pmodel1 = .550 and Pmodel2 = .463) and skin sensitivity (Pmodel1 = .333 and Pmodel2 = .104). Conclusion The post-discharge rehabilitation education of burns patients through social media improves their quality of life and can be used as an appropriate educational and follow-up method in different stages of the rehabilitation of burn patients.

“…Our study results revealed that the intervention group had a significantly higher mean score in the self-care dimension (i.e., a better performance) compared to the control group. In this line, Elsherbiny et al explored the effects of a rehabilitation program on the quality of life of burn patients and reported that the early implementation of this intervention, as a part of the therapeutic plan, may have been beneficial for burn patients (33). Furthermore, Li et al suggested that sports movements may have improved the physical health dimension of quality of life in burn patients (22).…”

Background: The physical problems associated with burns can cause patients various difficulties and negatively affect their independence as well as participation in daily life activities. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a rehabilitation nursing program on hand burn patients’ daily functioning. Methods: The present randomized clinical trial was conducted to examine 60 hand burn patients referred to the Shahid Motahari Hospital of Tehran, Iran, between November 4, 2020, and April 19, 2021. The patients were randomly divided into two groups using the block randomization method (n = 30 per group). The intervention group received a 5-week rehabilitation nursing program in two steps: during the acute stage of the disorder (i.e., the time of admission) and during the recovery stage (i.e., before discharge). Data were collected in each step using the General Activities of Daily Living (GADL) questionnaire. The control group received routine care. Inferential and descriptive statistics, such as the independent and paired t-test, as well as the chi-square test and analysis of covariance, were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed no significant difference in the daily performance of the individuals assigned to the study groups prior to the rehabilitation program (P = 0.29). According to the results of covariance analysis, the overall performance mean scores of the two groups were significantly different after implementing the nursing rehabilitation program, with a significantly higher score (i.e., better performance) recorded for the intervention group (P < 0.001). Also, the means of pre- and post-intervention performance scores were significantly different in the rehabilitation group (P < 0.001), but they were not significantly different in the control group. Conclusions: It was concluded that implementing a rehabilitation nursing program improved the daily performance of patients with hand burns, which offered a valid ground for accelerating the rehabilitation of these patients and shortening the period they needed to return to society.

“…Nevertheless, the results of studies show that nurses pay little attention to this issue in burn patients. 19 Therefore, it is necessary that in parallel with routine care activities, nurses also pay attention to continuous training and implementation of rehabilitation programs from the admission to the discharge of burn patients. The use of a nursing rehabilitation model in the present study improved the Qol of patients with hand burns through establishing a relationship between patients and the rehabilitation team, consisting of a nurse, a physiotherapist, and a psychologist.…”

“…The results of the present study are in line with the observations of Elsherbiny et al in Egypt, showing that burn rehabilitation education improved the Qol of patients with hand burns. 19 In another study in China, Li et al assessed the effects of a nursing rehabilitation model on improving the overall health of patients with hand burns and showed that the patients receiving the intervention had significantly higher scores regarding the general health, physical functioning, psychological functioning, and social functioning dimensions compared to control subjects. 12 The participants of a recent study showed comparable demographic features compared to our participants.…”

“…This questionnaire was initially developed and further modified and its newer and more efficient version was developed in 2001. [19][20][21] The questionnaire includes 40 questions on skin sensitivity to heat, body image, hand function, how to care for burnt areas, occupationcommunication, the ability to perform simple tasks, and sexual and emotional performance, scored based on a 5point Likert scale. A higher score in each item (maximum of five) indicated a good quality of life, and a lower score (minimum of one) reflected a poor quality of life.…”

Burn is known as a life-threatening event in people’s lives, causing numerous physical, psychological, and social harms and negatively affecting patients’ quality of lives. This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing a nursing rehabilitation model in improving the quality of life of people with hand burns. This was a randomized clinical trial conducted on 60 burn patients admitted to the Shahid Motahari Hospital, Burn Research Center, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran in 2021. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups of intervention and control (n = 30 per group). The participants of the intervention group received a 5-week nursing rehabilitation program in two phases: at the acute phase (admission) and the recovery phase (before discharge). Data were collected using the Burns Specific Health Scale Brief (BSHS-B) questionnaire before each phase. The quality of life (Qol) - was significantly different comparing the two groups before the intervention (p = 0.042). Covariance analysis showed that after the intervention, the mean quality of life score was significantly higher in the intervention than the control group, indicating a better Qol in the recent group (p <0.001). In the control group, the mean score of Qol was not significantly different before and after the intervention; however, this difference was statistically significant in the intervention group (p = 0.001). The implementation of the nursing rehabilitation model improved the Qol of patients with hand burns. So, this model seems to be an appropriate and effective strategy to accelerate the rehabilitation of patients with hand burns and their return to society.
